During a threat-hunting effort, your security administrator decides to deploy a honeypot to gather data on unauthorized attempts. Which statement accurately describes why this approach benefits the team?
It checks communications for anomalies and flags traffic markers for alerting.
It uses a disguised resource to log infiltration behaviors, facilitating deeper understanding of malicious techniques.
It merges signals with historical events, analyzing their sources for internal review.
It rejects suspicious data flows and removes these logs from incident review processes.
A disguised asset tracks intruder movements, providing valuable insight into suspicious methods in a controlled environment. The other options focus on data merging, rejection, or basic anomaly flags, which do not capture the main advantage of studying active intrusions for detailed intelligence.
